  These release notes refer to Mac-specific changes only. See NEWS (in the Misc folder)

  - The main change is that all toolbox modules have moved to a package called Carbon.
    So things like "import Res" should be changed to "from Carbon import Res", and

    some open questions and join the discussions on pythonmac-sig if you have anything
    to contribute. Aside from reducing clutter this change will also benefit the
!   port to Mach-O/OSX Python later.
  - On input MacPython now accepts either \n (unix style) or \r (mac style) newlines
    for text files. This behaviour can be turned off with a preference.
!   This is an experimental feature; again: feedback is requested.
  - There is a new module macresource which makes it easier to open a resource file
    accompanying your script when the script is not (yet) converted to an applet.
!   This module will later also do the right thing in Mach-O/OSX Python.
  - Threads had a stack that was too small for many serious Python applications (20K).
!   They now get 64K. There is still no overflow check, though.
! - Garbage collection and the gc module have (finally) been enabled.
  - EasyDialogs.ProgressBar now has indeterminate progressbars if you specify maxval=0.
!   This is also the new default. Patch supplied by Dean Draayer.
  - There are new preferences for enabling old-style division warnings and for
    accepting unix-style newlines in text input files. These can also be set during
!   startup, and in addition you can select very verbose import tracing.
! - Various outdated scripts have been moved to :Mac:Unsupported.
! - Various outdated items from :Mac:Lib:test have been removed.
